A Turn in the Road. Author: Debbie Macomber

This is another book in the "Blossom Street" series which I really enjoy. This particular one was slow moving and centered on just one of the "regular" characters and a trip she takes with her daughter and ex-mother-in-law across the U.S. I found the book disappointing but stuck with it and I did like the ending.

Fiction; rated 3 out of 5.

The Throne of Fire. Author: Rick Riordan

The second book in a series involving the Kane siblings who are direct descendants of Egyptian gods. Fun and fast-paced, this book follows Sadie and Carter for another magical adventure. I enjoyed it immensely and it reminded me of the Harry Potter magic.

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Author: John Berendt

A well-written, quirky look at Savannah, Georgia. A great storyline combined with an off-beat cast of characters makes this a wonderful read.

Non-fiction; rated 5 out of 5.
